Pay for CEO Michael Dell more than tripled to $16.1 million, for example, and Dominic Orr, CEO of Aruba Networks, netted a nearly 10-fold increase to $8.9 million. Read on to find out more about the salaries, bonuses, stock awards and perks that tech industry CEOs took home in 2012. Our tallies -- arranged from lowest to highest paid CEO -- are based on reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The following figures are taken from the summary compensation table: salary, bonus, stock awards, option awards, non-equity incentive place compensation, changes in pension value and non-qualified deferred compensation earnings, and all other compensation. The estimated value of equity awards represents the grant date fair value for stock awards and stock options granted during the fiscal year.
